TryHackMe Blue - Walkthrough

"Blue" is a room on TryHackMe, a platform for learning and practicing cybersecurity skills through hands-on exercises in a safe environment. The Blue room is designed to teach participants about basic penetration testing techniques on a Windows machine.

In this room, you typically start with reconnaissance, gathering information about the target machine. Then, you proceed to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access. Finally, you may escalate privileges to gain higher levels of control over the target system.

Some key concepts covered in the Blue room might include:

Reconnaissance: Using tools like Nmap or automated scripts to scan for open ports, services, and potential vulnerabilities on the target machine.

Exploitation: Identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in services running on the target machine. This could involve using known exploits, brute-forcing credentials, or exploiting misconfigurations.

Post-exploitation: Once access is gained, further exploration of the system to gather sensitive information, escalate privileges, or maintain access for future exploitation.

Privilege Escalation: Techniques for elevating your privileges on the target system to gain higher levels of access and control.

By completing the challenges in the Blue room, participants can learn about common vulnerabilities and attack techniques and develop their skills in ethical hacking and penetration testing.
